Claretian Missionaries are spread throughout the world in 63 countries and work in a wide variety of ministries. We are known for our commitment to social justice and peace, to foreign missions, and to publishing. Our missionaries also serve as parish priests, administrators, chaplains, teachers, and many other roles. Claretians in the U.S. and Canada work in high-poverty urban neighborhoods serving the needs of all people in the wider community.

Our missionaries work with lay leaders in many kinds of ministries. We are always looking for people who want to do more for the Lord’s Kingdom. Ministry opportunities exist in all of our ministries, and each of them provides preparation for leadership development. Forming new leaders in the Church is an important part of our work. Our lay leaders must be able to lead not only in church but also in society where they are expected to contribute to public discourse on the important issues of our time.
